From an Esse woodburner to a Defra Tiger.

Here we have a couple of nice stoves.
Swept and cleaned with no issues.
Both have a couple of quirks when rebuilding though.
Enjoy! #sweepunit

Great videos! Do you do video inspections of the flues when you’ve completed the Sweep? It would be very interesting to see a chimney brick/tile/SS flue video inspection video. Do you also do clothes dryer vents? Thank you!

@@akaredcrossbow I only camera the flues if I suspect there is a problem, I am asked to or if I've removed bricks/nest material. The dryer vent cleaning isn't a thing in the UK as far as I'm aware. Definitely not near me.

@@thechimneyman-uk Thank you for the reply! I don’t know how common tumble dryers are there, but dryer vent cleanings are definitely something you should look into doing. They are a good source of money for the time you spend doing them, plus you basically already have all the equipment to handle those kinds of jobs. All you would need is thinner rods and smaller cleaning brushes. There is no need to really take apart the dryer, that’s the appliance person job, all you would be doing is the vent and it’s an all year round job. Great for fill in work too. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@akaredcrossbow no worries. Generally in the housing we have tumble dryers vent pretty much straight outside from the back of the dryer. Mine for instance only has a few inches of pipe. Maybe in an apartment block this may be a thing but I can't say there are any near me or any I've been asked to do. This may be a thing in bigger cities I'm not sure. It's an interesting option though. Maybe worth exploring. 👌
